Nashville lawyers strongly recommend retaining all appellate court judges up for election this year, a new survey from the Nashville Bar Association shows. Results of the member poll released today also recommend the reelection of General Sessions Judge Lynda F. Jones. NBA President Martesha L. Johnson said the group regularly polls its members regarding judicial elections because they “have firsthand knowledge of the candidates and issues facing Nashville’s legal system” and their assessment “will be useful to the public and help to ensure that the Nashville judiciary is highly qualified and dedicated to a fair and equitable legal system.” Four hundred eighteen responses were received.
